!SLIPdial/Resources/UK/Help/Switches
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Example: run Slipdial:!Run -file SLIPdial:call_demon -quiet pevents status and control windows from being opened at startup. -auto autoruns the script Slipdial:default -sprite <size> specifies size of slipdial's internal sprite area, for addition of user icons. All startup flags/switches can be abbreviated to 1 significant character. For example: run slipdial:!Run -s 8000 -f Slipdial:call_demon
